Eligibility Requirements

You are eligible to join Advantra (HMO-POS) if:

• You are entitled to Medicare Parts A and B benefits due either to age or disability. With Advantra (HMO-POS), you must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium. If you do not have Medicare Part B, you are not eligible for Advantra (HMO-POS) and must contact your nearest Social Security office and sign up for Part B.
• You live in the Advantra (HMO-POS) service area.
• You have not been diagnosed with End-Stage Renal (kidney) Disease, unless you are already a member of Advantra (HMO-POS) or had a successful kidney transplant.

Medicare Prescription Drug benefits are only available to beneficiaries with Part D Prescription Drug coverage or members of a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan. You cannot enroll in this plan if your current or former employer helps pay for your drugs.

Members in our HMO plans must use plan providers except in emergency or urgent care situations or for out-of-area renal dialysis. If you obtain routine care from out-of-plan providers, neither Medicare nor Coventry Health Care (and all subsidiaries) will be responsible for the costs.

Members can choose to access the POS option and can go to doctors, specialists or hospitals in- or out-of-network. With the exception of emergency or urgent care, it will cost more to get care from out-of-network providers and /or that accessing services from in-network providers can cost less than using services of out-of-network providers. Your responsibility will be greater out-of-network when the out-of-network co-insurance is based on the Medicare allowed amount and the contracted amount is lower. Coventry provides reimbursement for all covered benefits regardless of whether they are received in-network, as long as they are medically necessary.
